In the [HAL] section, just list as many hal files as you need, with HALFILE = xyz.hal Note that they are loaded in in the order listed, so that you have to be careful to have the loadrt line come before any commands that reference exported pins, and if you add input pins to existing signals, those would have to come later, too.
